Evander Holyfield, a legendary boxing champion, admitted in a recent interview that he would likely have lost to Mike Tyson had they fought during Tyson's prime. Holyfield reflected on their bouts, acknowledging the fortuitous timing of their encounters, with Tyson being past his best. He described Tyson's unpredictability during his peak, stating that Tyson was "unbeatable" at that time. Despite Holyfield's two victories over Tyson in 1996 and 1997, he remains clear that a fight in Tyson's prime would present a much different scenario, emphasizing the respect he holds for Tyson's skills and legacy.
Holyfield confessed he fought Tyson at the right moment in their careers, stating, "I was fortunate enough to fight him when he was beatable."
Having reflected on Tyson's prime, Holyfield acknowledged, "When you didn't know what Tyson was going to do, everybody was in trouble. He changed up and got into a rhythm that everybody does and he became beatable."
